While renovating her apartment in the medieval ramparts of Ventimiglia, New Zealander Carolyn McKenzie was stunned by the variety of inspiring places that surrounded her. From Cervo in Italy to Massif de l'Esterel in France, discover a different Riviera. Delve beneath the surface and unearth the art, architecture and culture of this enticing destination.

I LOVE these goggles. Honestly I'm never going to buy another goggle after having tried these. The dimming ability is very slight.

Food isn't the best, it can be better. It serves its purpose.
Off-Campus Dining:
There''s only a few restaurants in the area, anything better is 10-30 min. away.
Local Atmosphere:
Their is nothing appealing about the town of denmark south carolina
Because their are no activities in the town to do.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are restaurants. .ex..MickyD's Hardee. .and then the local spots
There are some put not enough for the number of students that are there
Campus Dining:
There are no choices for dinning you go the cage that Is it
Students are involved. ..but it could be Better...need more sports and sports scholarships
When its winter its cold...when its summer its hot
My school Voorhees College has excellent coaching and support our facilities are just out of date. We need to work on bringing more sports related professional in such as: athletic trainers, assistance coaches, and athletic advisers. This past year our boys won our conference and we hope that it brings more attention to the schools athletic department and future students.
Off-Campus Housing:
It seems to be a good idea. But the fact of paying your own bills when you are a full time student with no job is difficult. But, I see students make it work.
The students who are athletic are very good. And the school spirit is unbelievable.
It rains alots one day and hot the other day. You never know what to wear
Off-Campus Dining:
The restaurants is near the school. We have fast food places. You don't have a student discount no where . The food is very cheap
Greek Life:
The greek life at our school is good.The people in it is very respectful and nice. they make sure that they get there information right. We have eight geek on compus and alot of non-greeks. non-greek veiwed them like if they not in a greek.
Local Atmosphere:
The area is small and not alot of local businesses.
Health & Safety:
Every institution has issues with saftey and security but for the most part Voorhees is a safe and friendly environment.
Off-Campus Housing:
Off-Campus housing is limited but finding one is not as hard as one may think. the town where there school is located is small and rural. Housing is inexpensive but the quality of the home might be a little lax.
the weather is very bipolar it changes at the blink of an eye. one day its extremely hot to very cold or foggy or theres non stop showers.
Off-Campus Dining:
Its ok except the limited time we get to eat because some of us geet out of class late and they run out of food.. also the variety is limited we pretty much have the same options everyday. we cant serve ourselves but an upside is we can eat as much as we like.
there are plenty of places to park on campus so thats a plus.
there is no diversity, there are only 2 white students and 1 lationo student at voorhees. the majority is african american. the reason for this grade is because i would like to see some diversity on cmpus to experience different cultures and people.
My career goals include wanting to start my own non-profit organizations with programs supporting children, troubled adolescents, elders, and single parents, as well as starting my own scholarship foundation.
It rains occassionally here, but for the most part it isn't bad. Due to waether changes in the evening, it causes a lot of plans to get cancelled, but it doesn't affect my academics, nor my classes, although sometimes it is a long walk from my dorm to some of classes.

How are the scores for schools (GreatSchools) calculated on Realtor.com?
I was looking at a listing for a home in my neighborhood and was shocked at how low our public grade schools were ranked. We are an older historic neighborhood, have older schools but as far as I know the children still learn well and graduate to go onto college.
I said to my husband (our children are grown) if we had young children I would not consider this neighborhood with these low rankings. Our high school has a high ranking. I cannot figure out how these rankings are determined on Realtor.com Can anyone fill me in?
kiwi, Great question and one I don't know the answer to but think it probably has a lot to do with all of the recent "scoring/testing" methods plus the NCLB Act which has been seriously discredited in the last few years.
In any event, any potential sellers of homes with 3 bedrooms or more would do well to check those ratings - especially if they are deciding which market they want to attract! Think the school ratings can potentially be a deciding factor with families with children.
Just another example of "know your market" - to overly simplify - schools for those with young children, "bling" for first-time buyers and quality/stability for those retired or looking to retire.
As for school ratings themselves? Good luck trying to figure those out - just know they are important for individuals marketing their property as "a family friendly home."
Looking forward to hearing from anyone who actually KNOWS why a school can go from a 9 one year to a 7 the next year and then bounce back to a 10 the year after????
BTW, realtor.com isn't the one doing the rating - it's consistent across the board with all of the major real estate sites!
greatschools dart org is the place to get all this information although it takes a bit to find the explanation once you get there. Once on that site simply enter the school you are looking for in the box on the upper right side of the page. You'll get a page for the school showing the rating - which is based solely on one year's standardized testing for that state and ranked in increments of 10 percent. For example, if the school is ranked in the state's 62nd percentile, the score will be "7".
For a more complete explanation of the methodology click on the school name in blue - when the next page comes up the rating will be in a large circle on the left. Just to the right click on the blue "What our ratings tell you" and you'll have more information than you need.
This message has been edited. Last edited by: happy 9,
And I THINK the schools may receive some sort of funding if the yearly test scores are "good."
Kiwi, I couldn't agree with you more. The more experience I am having in my kids' education, the more disappointed I am becoming that they AREN'T looking at the child as a whole but how well they can get the kids to read and do math.
Did you know, and sit down for this one because it is a doozey, that they are not teaching kids how to write anymore? At least here in CA, handwriting has officially been dropped from the state's curriculum. Handwriting. No more. HUH?
CCM, I would have thought you were just having fun with us about the handwriting and such but it's real.
So what do you think since you have children and want them to get a good education? Are you still only looking for schools 8 and above? Interesting topic...
Myself, had a time trying to persuade myself that all those tests/scores/methods mean something - I think not. BUT, then again, I am a relict from years ago when we were actually encouraged to think for ourselves. I know, an odd concept these days...
So, which do you prefer? Go with standardized testings results when searching for new real estate OR, instead, will you make your own judgment? Be prepared when buying a new home - bottom line - it's your decision, but if you are a seller, make sure you know what potential buyers are seeing about your place.
Ideally, buyers should probably visit the schools in person a few times, talk to administrators, etc., to evaluate whether a school is right for their needs. If so, THEN put the offer in on a house in that area.
I REALLY should not get started on this...
I have been a very hands on parent with an on campus presence for almost 20 years. Sometime toward the end of those years I became a school employee at an elementary school, and currently I work in the district office. I had no problem voicing my opinion on new directions education was taking with each step...the decisions had already been made by the time we were being informed. Many of the changes in the classroom have reflected the need to please the oncoming waves of permissive and protective parents-praise for the achiever will make the mid and lower achiever feel put down, so they all are praised...the achiever begins to feel slighted so why try so hard? I really have seen this happen. Standardized testing began to point out problems within each grade level if problems existed. That was a help. Then having a school reach the 800 level was an all out mandate. If you are to pass the 800 mark and improve by a certain % each year thereafter, you start devoting more classroom time to math and reading...something else has to go.
All you have left are the scores to guide you & to point out which particular school's area you want to look into within the district. Yes, visit the school to see how well it is looked after, and to get a feel for the demeanor.
I moved here 22+ years ago because of the school district I have had my share of headbutting with teachers but never over grades.
The REAL problem has not been touched here. I leave it to be pondered, but I will not get myself into hot water over what is a losing battle on a national level.
Summers are just this side of hell, but you don't have to shovel sunshine...

I know about the school listings from my wife, we decided to give our youngest son to study at a better school from another neighborhood. I liked that they have a kids and therapy group that seems very promising, he needs therapy and the school has such an option.

Pension reform won't do much to curb IL debt
A report being released Tuesday says Illinois' plan to save $160 billion ultimately won't make much of a dent in the state's growing deficits.
The University of Illinois' Institute for Government and Public Affairs study says changes to the state's major public pension systems will eliminate their unfunded liability over the next 25 years, but the state's deficit will increase to $13 billion during that time. Institute researchers projected a $14 billion deficit - a $1 billion difference - if the state had not implemented pension reform.
Institute Director Chris Mooney says the study was released as campaigns for the 2014 general election begin to heat up in order to make sure the state's fiscal crisis is talked about.
Experts: Illinois' pension reform could face problems in court
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - With the fight over solving Illinois' worst-in-the-nation pension shortfall moving to the courts, the state faces a grim possibility: The plan could be tossed, and Illinois could wind up in an even deeper fiscal hole.
Lawmakers approved a bill Tuesday that they say eliminates the $100 billion unfunded pension liability, largely by cutting benefits.
Labor unions say it's unconstitutional and plan to sue once Gov. Pat Quinn signs it.
Court rulings on similar cases elsewhere have varied.
A bankruptcy judge in Detroit said Tuesday that city pensions can be cut.
But in Arizona a court said asking employees to contribute more to their retirement was illegal and made the state repay workers, with interest.
Experts say that could happen in Illinois, which has some of the country's stronger pension protections.
IL lawmakers convening special session on pensions
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Illinois lawmakers are set to consider a potentially historic plan to solve the state's worst-in-the-nation $100 billion pension crisis.
Tuesday will begin with a morning hearing where a bipartisan committee of lawmakers will discuss the proposal. Opponents and supporters also will get a chance to weigh in.
A clear majority of committee members signed off on the plan Monday, sending it to the floor of the House and Senate.
Illinois has the nation's worst-funded state pension systems. The bill before the Legislature on Tuesday is estimated to save $160 billion over 30 years by trimming retirement benefits.
Illinois' legislative leaders and the governor have spent recent days drumming up support for the proposal.
Labor unions say it's unfair to retirees and believe that some elements are unconstitutional.
Illinois House to convene next week on pensions
CHICAGO (AP) - The Illinois House will convene for a special session next week on the state's roughly $100 billion pension crisis.
Both the House and Senate had tentatively set two days aside next week to meet. On Monday House Speaker Michael Madigan's chief of staff emailed representatives, telling them to expect a one-day session starting Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 11 a.m.
Senate President John Cullerton's spokeswoman says senators still have the days on the books and there has been no change for now.
The four legislative leaders met last week on a plan that could save around $150 billion over the next three decades. Madigan spokesman Steve Brown says the speaker continued discussions with leaders over the weekend and there was progress.
The leaders are expected to talk again this week.
Pension reform proposal could serve as test case
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - An employee pension reform bill passed by the Legislature for the Chicago park district is being watched as a test case for statewide reforms, even as it poses a tricky dilemma for Gov. Pat Quinn.
Lawmakers say passage of the park district reforms shouldn't be interpreted as a blueprint for the success of a larger plan addressing the state's $100 billion pension problem. But it could be a test case for how pension reform deals will be interpreted by the courts.
House Speaker Michael Madigan's spokesman credits successful negotiations between the park district and labor union, something that hasn't happened statewide.
Quinn has been a champion of pension reform. But union officials who raised a late objection to the park district plan are among his biggest campaign contributors.
Illinois veto session begins Tuesday
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Illinois lawmakers are set to reconvene Tuesday to address pressing issues such as pension reform and same-sex marriage. But a looming deadline for opponents to challenge sitting lawmakers in 2014 is one reason those issues could be pushed off once again.
The filing date for anyone considering challenging a legislator in the March primaries in Dec. 9. That could make some lawmakers especially careful about casting controversial votes.
On the session agenda is proposed tax incentives aimed at keeping the new global headquarters of Decatur-based Archer Daniels Midland Company in Illinois. Lawmakers will consider supplementing the $35 billion budget approved in May and hold a hearing to resuscitate talks over expanding gambling in the state.
Legislation to enforce mandatory minimum prison sentences for felony gun convictions may also be considered.
Gov. Quinn calls preliminary pension plans "positive"
CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn says the outline of a pension reform proposal from a bipartisan panel is "positive indeed."
However, the Chicago Democrat was less clear about whether he's fully behind it or not, saying he wants to see final details.
He told reporters Sunday after an unrelated event that the panel tasked with coming up with a way to address the state's nearly $100 billion pension problem has made progress.
Pensions have been Quinn's top issue. He recently halted lawmakers' pay after lawmakers missed another one of his deadlines to solve the issue.
The pension committee is considering a plan that would, among other things, end automatic 3 percent cost-of-living increases for retirees. Increases would instead be linked to the rate of inflation.
Committee members say the details are preliminary.
IL Comptroller seeking legal review of Quinn pay cut
SPRINGFIELD, IL (AP) - Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka says she's looking into whether Gov. Pat Quinn can legally cut lawmakers' pay.
Quinn cut $13.8 million for legislators' paychecks from a budget bill Wednesday. He says it's the consequence for lawmakers failing to address the state's $97 billion pension shortfall.
Topinka says questions have been raised about whether Quinn's actions are constitutional.
A provision of the Illinois Constitution says changes in lawmaker salary should not take effect during the term in which they were elected.
Topinka says she has requested a legal review. It should be complete before Aug. 1, when lawmakers are scheduled to receive their next paychecks.
Quinn says a prior court ruling gives him the authority. He also says he's not changing their salary, just withholding the money to pay it.
IL Pension committee to meet in Springfield next week
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - A bipartisan group of Illinois lawmakers tasked with pension reform will meet in Springfield on the day before a special legislative session is convened.
Senate Democrats say the 10-member committee will meet Monday. The House and Senate are scheduled to convene Tuesday to consider Gov. Pat Quinn's amendatory veto on concealed carry legislation.
While Quinn originally called the Legislature back July 9 to deal with pensions, it is unlikely the issue will be voted on by that deadline.
Committee members met last week in a grueling five-hour public session where little was resolved. They are scheduled to meet again Wednesday. Members say they are hopeful progress is being made, but legislation has yet to be drafted.
Illinois' worst-in-the-nation unfunded pension liability hovers around $100 billion.
Unions ask lawmakers to back Senate pension plan
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Illinois union leaders are encouraging lawmakers to support a pension reform proposal that they recently agreed on with the state's Senate president.
A coalition of unions announced Monday that it reached an agreement with Senate President John Cullerton on a possible solution to the state's $97 billion pension crisis.
Michael Carrigan is the president of the Illinois AFL-CIO. He says the group is trying to ensure fairness for public employees and retirees. The union-backed measure gives workers and retirees a choice of benefit packages.
Carrigan says the group is asking legislators to oppose a solution that House Speaker Michael Madigan backs. Madigan's plan calls for higher pension contributions from employees and limits on how much in pension benefits retirees may collect.

Monday, September 12, 2011
It was a solid final day with good winds at the 2.4 US National Championships in Noroton Ct. The Canadians swept the podium with Allan Leibel heading the pack, Paul Tingley in second and Bruce Millar in third. It was great to see such excellent racing from our Canadian guys.
Filling out the top 5 Marc Leblanc was 4th and John Ruf was 5th.
Noroton is an challenging place to sail with significant current but to make up for it they have one of the best race committee's on the circuit, with many of them running many World championships.
One local Noroton resident was a regular out watching the racing and exchanging stories after the racing was Canada's own Bruce Kirby (designer of the Laser, Sonar) he was great support to our sailors.
Next event on the calendar for the 2.4 sailors will be the Americas regatta in Florida in December. In the meantime training camps are scheduled for the coming months.

United see off Canaries as Real Madrid await
Shinji Kagawa's hat-trick and a belter from Wayne Rooney were enough to edge Manchester United another step closer to the title as manager Sir Alex Ferguson played another strong hand in the Premier League and restored a 15-point lead at the top.
- Davitt: Norwich succumb to Rooney's brilliance
United beat Norwich 4-0 on a sunny afternoon at Old Trafford in the perfect warm-up for the Champions League match on Tuesday against Real Madrid, who had the luxury of resting Cristiano Ronaldo, Xabi Alonso, Mesut Ozil & Co. against Barcelona as they are already out of the running in La Liga ... although ironically managed to win el Clasico.
Kagawa's first season at United has been blighted by injury, but his composure on the ball cannot be denied. His three goals here displayed opportunism, guile and an encouraging understanding with Rooney. They also put the gloss on what had been an average afternoon for United until the last 15 minutes.
Kill-joy Ferguson dashed hopes of Ryan Giggs marking the game with his 1,000th senior appearance by omitting the veteran from the matchday squad altogether. The general assumption was that Fergie's team selection would be indicative of whom he would play against Madrid on Tuesday. In fact, almost all the big guns were in the eleven at kickoff.
With Giggs rested, it seemed Fergie might be saving him for a more fittingly headline-grabbing 1,000th game against Real Madrid. However, Kagawa, the man Giggs came on to replace in the first leg and might have started in place of for the second leg of the European tie, went and scored a hat-trick and may have made himself undroppable. Will Giggs now have to wait a little longer?
Back at Old Trafford, Norwich's game plan lacked ambition, and that contributed to the match being fairly poor in the opening stages. The Canaries started time-wasting after just 20 minutes. Most of the play occurred about 40 yards from the Norwich goal without really threatening it, with United having the majority of the possession but not doing anything with it. Norwich were resilient defensively; they set out to absorb United's pressure, and it worked out for them.
But it is always a dangerous practice to court United's attacking might, especially at Old Trafford. They swarmed all over Norwich, and seconds before half time they got their reward. An inswinging cross from Antonio Valencia was picked out of the sky by Robin van Persie's toe and landed nicely for Kagawa to prod home. It was a crushing time to concede for Norwich, whose strategy had seemed to be going well until then.
Although emerging after the break, it was clear that Van Persie was not at the peak of his powers. Fifteen minutes later, he was replaced by Danny Welbeck, but he'd had an inauspicious afternoon's work. He appeared to take a slight knock in the build-up to the goal and has had more incisive performances this season.
The second half saw the East Anglians play with more endeavour and put United's goal under sporadic pressure. If United's intention had been to establish a lead and then take off players they planned to use against Madrid, they left it pretty late. Norwich were obstinate and, as time wore on, seemed to fancy a goal themselves.
Those hopes were dashed 15 minutes from time as Michael Carrick floated a ball towards Rooney, who was hurtling down the right wing. Rooney had been having one of those afternoons when all of his running had not paid off. He kept his cool and slid the ball to onrushing Kagawa, who placed the ball in the net with mocking ease. The home crowd broke into song. What had been an uneasy atmosphere became more celebratory, and the last 10 minutes seemed more like a football match and less like an exercise in not getting injured.
Kagawa's third was his most impressive goal of the match as he looped the ball over the keeper to claim his hat-trick. Not to be outdone, Rooney unleashed his right boot from 25 yards two minutes later, and the ball hit the top corner.
United's squad has so many match-winners in it that Norwich were always going to find it difficult in Manchester. Almost everybody in the Premier League does. This game was all about the build-up for the monumental clash that awaits United on Tuesday, though. The world is waiting to see how Real Madrid will fare here. United are ready.

FORT MILL — It sounds like pingpong on an amplifier and before long people will know the sport on a first name basis, its biggest fans say.
"Within two years, you won't believe how many people are playing pickleball," said game ambassador Jane Harvey.
"It will happen."
Pickleball is a paddle-and-ball game played on what looks like small tennis courts. The ball is similar to a whiffle ball, and the rules similar to tennis or Ping-Pong. It's mostly an outdoor game, but it's being played inside this month in the Recreation Complex at the Anne Springs Close Greenway.
Harvey and Frank Kinder, both Sun City residents in Indian Land, are ambassadors through the USA Pickleball Association. They're hosting clinics at the Fort Mill gym 1-3 p.m. each Wednesday in January, and open play 1-3 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.
They've also taught the game at Indian Land Middle School, and worked with counties and homebuilders to find opportunities for new pickleball courts or, as is increasingly more common, repurposed tennis courts converted for the game.
"It's addictive," said Harvey's husband, Fred. "You play, and you're hooked."
Sun City installed two courts in early 2009 and interest was so high, four more were built. Now there are leagues and tournaments, along with daily social play. Although Fred was never interested in competitive sports, he is one of many regulars.
There is a place in Rock Hill offering open play, and some interest from elected officials at various levels in providing space to play, Kinder said. But the local epicenter for pickleball is Sun City, home to the only two local ambassadors and a club with more than 500 members, more than 100 playing on a regular basis.
Martha Burgess is president of that club. The quick nature and smaller spacing of pickleball is what appeals to many, she said, compared to tennis which she also plays. While a set of tennis may last half an hour, a pickleball set might take 10 or 15 minutes. The game is particularly popular among seniors, though anyone can play.
"I think of it being as energetic as tennis, but in a different way," Burgess said.
Only about a dozen people signed up for the first clinic in Fort Mill last Wednesday, though almost 40 people showed up to try out the game. Already the pickleballers are recommending that people new to the game try out the open play sessions, where experienced players will be on hand to give an idea of how the game is played.

"This was part of my first order from TinyPrints and I couldn't be much more excited! I'm thinking of skipping Black Friday shopping to get a head start on Christmas cards -- THAT'S how wonderful these are! The product is great quality. This particular card fits a lot of photos, which I loved. The cards come flat in a plastic wrapper, but folding is quite easy. The paper already has a little bend in the places where you are supposed to fold. I'm not sure about anyone else, but this was a big worry for me when I was ordering. (I fretted over "Do they come pre-folded? Or am I going to have to fold a totally flat sheet of paper and mess up 5 cards before I get the process down? Will my cards be uneven because I didn't fold well enough?") Never fear, TinyPrints has this under control!"
"My cards just arrived and I love them! I am impressed with the quality of the paper and how good my photos look. I choose the red version of this card. The Tiny Prints Design Team and Customer Service Representatives couldn't have been more helpful. I couldn't be happier with my cards. This is my first experience with Tiny Prints and I am recommending them to all my friends!"
"This is one of those cases where the web can't capture the beauty of a product- WOW! The heavy card stock, the fullness of the photos laid under the cool font, just the right amount of snowflake embellishments. The fold makes it a nice display for family. Our best holiday card ever, we got many compliments. It turned out really well, a very nice surprise. It wasn't featured prominently on the site and the initial preview was in black, so I almost passed on it. We got it in cranberry. A bit confusing with the envelopes. They do offer the modified square envelopes but they aren't nearly as nice as the actual square envelopes. Our postman told us there was no need for extra postage, not sure if that's true or if he's just a really awesome postman! In any case, if you are aesthetically minded, go for the traditional square instead of the modified square."
"We received many compliments on the card. The design and quality of the paper was superb. We are very happy with it. Only one thing, the square shape needs more postage that we didn't know & some cards were sent back to us."
"This is the second year I have purchased from Tinyprints and officiallly now I can say I will never go anywhere else.I love the live chat option.I love the service and I love the quality..The cards,Which came in 1 business day blew my mind! I ordered them in Holiday red with the pearl paper..Stunning..I was even able to download the feel script font to use for addressing our card recipients addresses..That way the labels,cards and adresses all matched..I LOVE them..Thank you so much!!!"

In small bowl, whisk together eggs and 1 tablespoon water. In second small bowl, whisk together flour, cayenne pepper, chile powder, garlic powder, remaining 2 tablespoons salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon pepper.
Preheat oven to 150°F. In heavy large pot, heat 3 1/2 inches oil until deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F.

Just in time for Memorial Day, the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton is dedicating a wall of honor recognizing veterans and others who serve and have served our country.
The Legacy Data Plate Wall of Honor memorializes veterans and others with a military connection. Each memorial plaque is designed to resemble data plates on military aircraft but instead of model and serial numbers, there are loving remembrances.
If you're an aviation or movie buff, you'll want to check out the Reel Stuff Film Festival of Aviation at the U.S. Air Force Museum Theater in Fairborn, Ohio. As Larry Thomas learns, the theater recently underwent an $800,000 renovation, upgrading the digital projection and sound system. From April 13-15, they will be showing such re-mastered films as the first Oscar winner, Wings; Top Gun in Imax 3D; Memphis Belle and more.
Dayton may have been passed over to receive a space shuttle but the National Museum of the United States Air Force now has the next best thing. For more than 30 years Crew Compartment Trainer One was used to teach astronauts how to fly orbiters and operate equipment in space. Astronaut Greg Johnson was on hand Wednesday as CCT-1 arrived on the NASA Super Guppy aircraft. Johnson says he spent almost more time in the trainer than in actual space.

Devils Lake celebrates July 4th, founding fatherDevils Lake came out in full force to celebrate the 4th of July today, as well as to honor one of the town's founding fathers.
By: Adam Ladwig, WDAZ
Devils Lake came out in full force to celebrate the 4th of July today, as well as to honor one of the town's founding fathers.
Today's parade featured celebrations of all kinds, from bands playing to children scooping up candy. There were also some special guests -- the family of Edward Heerman -- who began piloting the Minnie H. steamboat around Devils Lake 130 years ago. The boat provided transportation across the lake at a time before cars and helped the area thrive when it was first settled. Heerman's great grandson says it's an honor to come back to Devils Lake and take part in celebrating the city his family helped build.
Whitehouse: "It's a big day for us here. We were back last in 1983, when my mother came back to ride in the parade as the grand marshall."
The celebration wont end with the parade. Locals will be in for a treat as a fireworks display is scheduled at Ruger Park as soon as the sun sets tonight.

A fire at an air traffic facility in New Jersey on Friday knocked out electronics that help coordinate flights into and out of airports, and airlines said the problem worsened a day of heavy delays and cancellations triggered by storms in the eastern United States.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the early afternoon (EDT) fire at its facility in Atlantic City knocked out servers and left some automated systems used to efficiently communicate the status of airport ground operations temporarily unavailable.
With digital information unavailable, airlines could not plan and track their flights as quickly as they normally would at the start of another busy summer travel weekend, especially in and out of New York, the world's busiest air space.
The FAA said its ability to direct flights in the air was unaffected and backup data kicked in and offered some relief for affected operations.
The agency's Washington facility had to coordinate airport conditions mainly by phone, which maintained safe operations but slowed communications for thousands of flights.
On a clear day, the FAA outage probably would have been less apparent with airport conditions more predictable. But heavy thunderstorms prompted the FAA to ground or delay flights in New York temporarily for safety, leading to changes in airport operations.
Any major delay in New York affects flights elsewhere, especially in other East Coast cities.
The explosion and fire that witnesses said generated towering flames forced evacuation of the FAA centre and also interrupted the agency's Internet, including its website and emails.
Atlantic City's airport adjacent to the fire-damaged facility closed temporarily, State Police said.
The cause of the fire was under investigation and FAA data systems were not fully operational as of Friday night.
Before the fire, all three big New York-area airports halted traffic for a time while storms passed through the area, setting in motion a ripple effect of service problems throughout the day that worsened after the FAA fire, airlines said.
Bad weather also affected flights in San Francisco.
United told passengers that weather and FAA-related flight delays and cancellations would continue into Saturday at New York-area airports, Philadelphia and Washington.
Delta cancelled 300 flights, while JetBlue Airways said it cancelled nearly 70. US Airways reported 46 mainline and more than 200 Express flight cancellations. All three blamed weather and the FAA outage.
American Airlines advised passengers via Twitter of long waits in the Northeast due to the FAA glitch and storms, which generally are the primary reason for delays and cancellations industry wide.
"We appreciate your patience," American tweeted to its passengers.

Paul Éluard (French pronunciation: [elɥar]), born Eugène Émile Paul Grindel ([ɡʁɛ̃dɛl]; 14 December 1895 – 26 November 1952), was a French poet who was one of the founders of the surrealist movement.
Éluard was born in Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis, France, the son of Clément Grindel and wife Jeanne Cousin. At age 16 he contracted tuberculosis and interrupted his studies. He met Gala, born Elena Ivanovna Diakonova, whom he married in 1917, in the Swiss sanatorium of Davos. Together they had a daughter named Cécile. Around this time Éluard wrote his first poems. He was particularly inspired by Walt Whitman[citation needed]. In 1918, Jean Paulhan "discovered" him and introduced him to André Breton and Louis Aragon. After collaborating with German Dadaist Max Ernst, who had entered France illegally, in 1921, he entered into a menage a trois living arrangement with Gala and Ernst in 1922.

After a marital crisis, he traveled, returning to France in 1924. Éluard's writings of this period reflect his tumultuous experiences. In 1929 he had another bout of tuberculosis and separated from Gala when she left him for Salvador Dalí, with whom she remained for the rest of her life.
In 1934, he married Nusch (Maria Benz), a model who was considered somewhat of a mascot of the surrealist movement, whom Éluard had met through his friends Man Ray and Pablo Picasso. During World War II, he was involved in the French Resistance, during which time he wrote Liberty (1942), Les sept poèmes d'amour en guerre (1944) and En avril 1944: Paris respirait encore! (1945, illustrated by Jean Hugo).
He joined the French Communist Party in 1942,[1] which led to his break from the Surrealists[citation needed], and he later eulogised Joseph Stalin in his political writings. Milan Kundera has recalled he was shocked when he heard of Éluard's public approval of the hanging of Éluard's friend, the Prague writer Zavis Kalandra in 1950.[2]
Later life[edit]
His grief at the premature death of his wife Nusch in 1946 inspired the work "Le temps déborde" in 1947. The principles of peace, self-government, and liberty became his new passion. He was a member of the Congress of Intellectuals for Peace in Wrocław in 1948, which he persuaded Pablo Picasso to participate in.
Éluard met his last wife, Dominique Laure, at the Congress of Peace in Mexico in 1949. They married in 1951. He dedicated his work The Phoenix to her.
Paul Éluard died from a heart attack in November 1952. His funeral was held in Charenton-le-Pont, and organized by the Communist Party.
He is buried at Père Lachaise Cemetery.

Comments On Jul 19, 2013:This is, by far, the best helmet I have ever owned. It broke in quick, is very comfortable, rides very quiet, has excellent visibility, breathes really well, and the internal sun visor (top gun visor) has saved my life more than once now. My commute may be 50 degrees in the morning and 105 on the way home, and the vent options on this helmet works really well for both. I also have a bit of a long oval head, and this helmet broke in within a few rides. It is designed for riders who are sitting up vertically so it works really well for bikes like dual sporters or cruisers, and may not be ideal for a sport bike.

Angel Sanchez - Bridal Fall 2008
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Angel Sanchez knows what works for brides. This season the designer introduced new silhouettes while incorporating the classic shapes brides continue to swoon over. His ability to achieve graceful fluid movement makes his pieces a top choice. For fall, Sanchez presented the ideal choices for traditional brides, City Hall-bound women, and those longing for a barefoot destination wedding. With cascading ruffles and flawless construction, Sanchez's silk gabardine A-line gown with a pleated neckline was both simple and extravagant. Interesting detail came in the form of hand cut tulle embroidery which adorned the draped skirt of an ivory tulle strapless gown. A silk organza pleated cocktail dress over a nude lining was tastefully sexy for the modern bride with sass and class.

Haven't listened on MTV's The Leak: Fox FM (radio station in Melbourne) played the whole CD today with P!nk chatting about each song, and it was awesome!! I told all of my work mates to leave me alone, plugged in my ear phones and just listened for an hour straight - it was incredible!!! I can't wait to buy it!!!
P!nk you just keep getting better - you truly are AMAZING!!!!
Hi Pink (do you prefer Alecia or Pink?)
I just want to give you a bit of back ground before I ask my official question:
I always enjoyed listening to your music on the radio but had never bought one of your CD's until I heard 'Who Knew". When I heard that song I felt as though you had taken a page out of my diary... I bought the "I'm not dead" CD the very next day, and discovered that I could personally relate to almost every song on it, I then got on-line and bought your earlier CDs too.

2013: Do One Thing for Diversity and Inclusion
In 2001, UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and in December 2002, the UN General Assembly, in its resolution 57/249, declared May 21 to be the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development.
The day provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to learn to live together better.
In 2011, a grassroots campaign 'Do One Thing For Diversity and Inclusion', celebrating the annual World Day for Cultural Diversity was launched by UNESCO and the UN Alliance of Civilizations.
The 2013 campaign, by encouraging people and organizations from around the world to take concrete action to support diversity, aims:
- To raise awareness worldwide about the importance of intercultural dialogue, diversity and inclusion.
- To build a world community of individuals committed to support diversity with real and every day-life gestures.
- To combat polarization and stereotypes to improve understanding and cooperation among people from different cultures.
The campaign works through a dedicated Facebook page, serving as a platform for people around the world to share their experiences through posts and videos.
